If you’re like me and love a classic aesthetic, this is the one. It gives you that gorgeous "vintage film" look straight out of the camera, saving you hours of editing.

The "big guns." When you’re ready to sit down and film a deep-dive "blueprint" video for the main channel, this is the workhorse that never misses.
Sony Alpha 7 IV Mirrorless Full-frame Interchangeable Lens Camera 33MP ...
This is the "Blueprint" starter. It’s the smartest camera for anyone moving from a phone to a real setup. It handles the tech for you so you can focus on the story.

Shop Canon EOS R50 | Canon U.S.A., Inc.
Built specifically for vloggers. It’s got a great grip and no viewfinder, which keeps it small and approachable for daily filming.
Nikon Z 30 | Mirrorless Cameras
My personal favorite for "soul." It has built-in film simulations that give your footage a vintage, cinematic look without you having to spend hours color-grading.
X-S20 Body, Black
This looks like a classic 1980s film camera but shoots incredible 4K video. It’s the ultimate "blueprint" tool for someone who values style as much as performance.

The ultimate "Street Creator" camera. It fits in a pocket but has a massive sensor. It's the secret weapon for capturing high-quality b-roll when you're out and about.

This shoots in 360 degrees, meaning you can "refram" the shot later. It’s great for when you’re alone and want to make sure you didn’t miss any of the action.
Buy X4 - 8K 360 Action Cam
The tank of the group. If you’re filming anywhere messy or outdoors, this is the only camera you don’t have to worry about breaking.
Buy HERO13 Black
Known for having the best stabilization in the game. You can walk and talk with this camera and it looks like you’re using a professional rig.

The most affordable way to get a "Full Frame" look (that blurry, professional background). It’s lightweight but punches way above its weight class.
